Oh for the love of...what is it with all the Hornets games happening when I have singing engagements lately?

Does EG10 have a sneer or a fake smile?

my first game i wont have to watch on League pass...thank you ATT Uverse. anyway hoping for the turn out to be close of that Dallas game but i'm thinking it wont be.

someone will leave with their 20th win.....and I'm thinking it will be us....

still cant believe they gave up robinson so early

I remember Chauncey Billups being traded halfway thru his rookie season.

Robinson was a bit overrated coming out. He was a mature player physically dominating younger and less athletic prospects. Didnt have enough skills to come in and produce right away unlike Sullinger who was more polished despite being younger.

Robinson will eventually develop into a legitimate player IMO. Typical head-scratcher by the Kings.

Yup, 1998

Derrick Favors was traded in the Deron Williams deal after being picked number 3 overall. Obviously a much different situation and in no way were they giving up on Favors, but that was the last time a top 5 pick was traded if I recall correctly.

Robinson also had that story about raising his sister, and that really raised his stock too.

we will never know for sure, but I sometimes wonder what we would have done if we hadn't hit the lottery jackpot.....

Patterson is better than Robinson, period. All gm's make mistakes, good one's correct their mistakes. Not to say the kings have a good gm, but those are the type of moves you have to make. Aka, seeing bayless was a mistake and quickly turning him into jarrett jack. Robinson is a 6'7 pf that never attempted to play defense in college.

That didn't raise his stock. Scouts could give a crap about that. Off court issues can only hurt your stock not raise it.

Robinson being moved is nothing more than being in a bad situation on that team. If Robinson only dominated players because he was "mature" then so did Lillard.

Perhaps, but i'd like to see what this kid can do with more then 15 minutes a game. seems like they never even attempted to see what he is

The fact that robinson was moved isn't that crazy. What's crazy is the complete garbage Kings got back. Robinson wasn't playing well, but you don't get scraps back when you trade a top 5 pick only 50 games in.

Oh well.

There was talk where some said Robinson could go high as the #2 pick. How did he end up #5?

Bobcats needed everything, went with MKG, Wiz had jam at 4/needed offense, went Beal, Cavs have Tristan, went Waiters

don't read too much into this, but I think Patterson can play....

The kings might come to regret their decision to trade him.
